This trip was well planned and provided the opportunity to learn quite a lot about the Everglades and the Keys - the natural and cultural history. Howie Gieb provided excellent leadership and information - and good picnic lunches too.

A very educational and informative program. Excellent Group Leader who was knowledgeable about everything--even more so than park rangers. A fun trip--picnics in the park--a great idea for large group. No bugs, mosquitoes or chiggers this time of year--and lots of sunshine.

Road Scholar requires you to sign a document that you waive your rights to take legal action in the case of negeligent actions of Road Scholars and its subcontractors. This practice is employed by many organizations that that are not willing to live up to their responsibilities. HELP FIGHT THIS DISHONEST PRACTICE!

This was an incredibly interesting program with exceptionally knowledgeable and capable leaders. As always, Road Scholar presented an organized and well planned week. Do make certain that a trip to Dry Tortugas National Park is included in your venues. Participants were welcoming and interesting.

Howie & Alberto were knowledge filled guides that enhanced my understanding of why the Keys are there and the importance of their future protection. Anyone with any interest in geology, biology or just plain beauty shouldn't miss this trip.

leaders were very knowledgeable. The trip was very well planned and though I was not looking forward to the picnics, they were delicious and necessary to the program... well done
We both enjoyed the program. Do ask B&B in Key West to upgrade air conditioners.

Road Scholar does an amazing job of providing amazing experiences, excellent accommodations, the best tour guides you will ever encounter. Because of this, you will find that the type of person who takes Road Scholar trip so interesting! Best value I have ever received on a tour of any kind!

South Florida has a fascinating ecology and has historical interest as well. Key West has an interesting history beyond being a tourist town. Just driving the Keys on your own would be way less interesting because you mostly see just facilities for tourists. The walks and lectures in the National and State Parks are well worth taking this trip.

This program was excellent in every way! The perfect mix of environment, science, natural and historic information! Loved the individuals we traveled with and the small size of the group. Best of all was our extremely competent group leader, Alberto! Would definitely recommend!
